How to get the date and time of the user in PHP in Yii2 without using JavaScript?

Question

Yii

In Yii2 I use Kartik's DateTimePicker widget, pass the user's date and time: As I understand it, I get server time that is 1 hour behind my time... How can I get the current time and date of the user's computer without using JavaScript? Help with code please.
'options'=>['value' => date("d.m.Y H:i:s")]

Answer 1

On the server, it's better to work with a single server time zone (preferably UTC), and do all the formatting and time conversion to the desired time zone on the client. For these purposes, I usually start a constant somewhere in the global scope of the JS script, which stores the offset of the user's time zone relative to UTC, and this constant is used wherever the date / time is displayed.

Answer 2

Good morning.
Set the time zone in the configuration file and everything will be fine.

No way. PHP is a server language, and it has nothing to do with what happens on the client machine. To work with the client machine, there is JavaScript. What's the problem with using it?

You can find out the time zone by the client's IP
